Had breakfast in the tea room like I do every morning. It was a younger chemist guy and me, and we ate in silence for a couple minutes. Excruciatingly normal and mundane. Then, suddenly, he asks, “Yudai, what are the building blocks of matter?”
We commence to talk not just about atoms but, quarks, sparticles, anti-matter and black holes.
Today’s gonna be a good day!
